I'll be needing two new front tyres soon and been looking at some different tyres. I want to try the Falkens ZE914's so seen Camskill have them for £69.70 a tyre - then found them on www.allnewtyres.co.uk where they have them for £68.31 so thought I'd try the price match on camskill as I've been using them for years - and they refused it! lol.

So for the sake of £2.78 they are willing to lose business? I know business is tough currently but that seems stupid to me.

Few questions - does anyone have any feedback on these falken's and has anyone used www.allnewtyres.co.uk at all?

Or for the sake of £2.78 are you going to leave a company that you've used and trusted for years to take your trade elsewhere?

That seems stupid to me

Most likely not, no - but just never heard of them before so was just wondering

Because they probably sell thousands of tyres everyday and for someone to argue over £2.78 it isn't worth the hassle for them. To me I'd pay the difference for reliability. For personal experience the customers who argue over a few pence are the ones who cause more hassle in the long run.

On the other hand, why trust a company that does not honour it's price match policy?

Didn't know they had one. Don't buy my tyres from them

I'm only going on what has been previously mentioned here:-

In my last dealing with Camskill they accused me of stealing. Over a week and 7 phone calls to a ****** who works in the office there it took a strongly worded email to sort the issue out, infact 10 minutes and the issue was rectified.

I presumed it was him trying to price match like loads of people do when they buy. "so and so is doing X for this much,. Can you knock money off?" I looked at their site and they do say they'll match prices. But I still stand by what I said. It's worth that £2 or so to know you'll get what you order.

I get my tyres from Tyretraders. Website looks crap but on average cheaper and get them next day normally.

+1 for tyretraders, they just don't have the size/make I want. :(

These have been cheapest this time around: http://www.oponeo.co.uk/tyre-details/vredestein-ultrac-vorti-225-40-r18-92-y-xl?utm_expid=37562226-4&utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oponeo.co.uk%2Ftyre-finder%2Fcar-summer-tyres-vredestein-225-40-r18

Just looked at the price match email and it was actually price matched when their price was at 73.50 so must have gone down.

Anyway, 2 quid, 10 quid - I did the price match (for the first time ever) just to see if it will make a difference, I'll most likely buy my tyres from them anyway though. If they offer a price match service why not try and use it to see if you can get a bit off?

Surely if you get even just a couple of quid off it'll leave the customer thinking they've got a better deal and will bring them back next time?

Does the price you are comparing include P&P?

BTW, I too used Tyretraders when Camskil were out of RainSports last year (or year before). Tyres came within 2 or 3 days, so was happy with their service.

Yes, on is 5.98 and the other 6.00 for p&p so not really part of it.
